In this episode, I discuss what workplace culture really is, why it is so important and why you should care about it.. a lot!

 

Workplace culture consists of 2 things:

  1. The relationships between people
  2. The things that people do

1. The relationships between people

Ask yourself the following reflective questions:

  • What are the relationships like at your workplace?
  • Do people show respect to each other or do they disrespect each other?
  • Do people have healthy debates or constantly engage in unhealthy conflict that has no resolve?
  • Do people have fixed or growth mindsets?
  • How do people cope with change in the organisation?
  • What is communication like in your workplace?

The relationships we have with one another at work affect our workplace culture. If there is a lack of respect for each other, a lack of trust, a lack of compassion and a lack of caring for each other, workplace culture will suffer. However, on the other hand, if people respect each other, trust each other, have compassion towards each other and truly care for each other, workplace culture will thrive.

2. The things that people do

What are the unwritten rules at your workplace or organisation? What are unwritten rules? Unwritten rules in the workplace, often referred to as workplace norms or informal codes of conduct, are a set of expectations and behaviours that employees follow, even though they are not explicitly documented in company policies or formal guidelines. These unwritten rules shape the work culture and influence how employees interact with each other and perform their job duties

So, think about what are the unwritten rules in your workplace. What things do people do, that are potentially unacceptable, but because everyone does it, no one cares and there are no consequences? For example, lunch breaks. Does everyone return to work on time after their lunch break, or do they simply take their time? After all, no one cares and their line managers never speak to them about returning late. This mindset can quickly spill over into other job tasks and therefore productivity and ultimately the company's bottom line will suffer. 

In this episode, I discuss 4 steps that you can follow to commence changing workplace culture in your workplace. 

Next steps:

 

1. Navigate to https://www.womenoffaithinleadership.com where you can:

  • Join the community of like-minded female Christian leaders. This is where I will be hanging out if I'm not on the podcast chatting to you all. Come share and support each other here. 
  • Subscribe to my newsletter so you can stay up to date with all upcoming episodes and any other exclusive or special offers.

 

2. If you need any support, you can get in contact with me for a 1:1 coaching call, simply email me at support@rikawhelan.com

 

3. Sign up for my upcoming From Gossip to Growth Program (launching in 2024), where I will be taking you through a step-by-step guide to get rid of workplace gossip… for good! Sign up here.

 

I look forward to chatting with you in the next episode. Make sure you don't miss it!
